Topic: X Bracket, etc (Read 938 times)

Hello. I'm new. I purchased #194 earlier this year. This is my first post so please be kind. I'm not sure if I was suppossed to respond to a post or start a new one. I chose starting a new one because the old post related to X bracket was over 120 days old.

First of all, I love these bikes. They are mesmorizing. It seems like a new bike every time I look at it. I had my first ride last weekend and really enjoyed it.

Of course I'm concered about the X Bracket and would love to get a new one. Please place me on the list. I'm hoping that happens soon because I kind of like riding it and I'm nervous about the bracket. Any tips on why they break would be helpful.

I'm also missing the chain guard. I installed a carbon fiber one, but I would like an original if anyone ever stumbles across one. It would be fun to have a Tshirt also. I tried having one made locally but it's a unique and very large screen print. My guy couldn't do it.

Thanks for being a resource. I've already learned a lot from you guys.

David Purcell made the machined x-brackets, so you'll need to contact him directly to be added to a list. He's near Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

The chain guard, part number is 446.1.003.1A, is no longer available through Ducati. That said, a quick online search showed a few dealers advertising availability at a cost of $11.11. You might try digging around to see if any dealers have one NOS.
